A matchup between Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore is set for IPL 2022 Qualifier 2.
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) top players like Virat Kohli, Faf Du Plessis, and Glenn Maxwell would need to score well to defeat Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 2 on Friday, according to former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra (pictured). The Indian Premier League 2022 Qualifier 2 match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals will take place at Narendra Modi Stadium on Friday. In the championship game, the victorious team will face the Gujarat Titans, who are making their league debut.
“Today’s game will benefit from the knowledge gained from previous encounters. Because of the team’s early-season success without the likes of Kohli, Maxwell, and Faf du Plessis contributing runs, I think they have a chance. This indicates that RCB’s season has been successful if you made it this far. RCB, congratulations! For now, though, winning today’s game is essential if you want to go to the championship game and defeat Gujarat in the final “on Star Sports’ “Game Plan,” Chopra stated.
“They’ve worked in the industry for a long time. Faf du Plessis is a left-arm, and Trent Boult has struggled against them. So, it’ll be interesting to see how he responds to Boult. In order for Virat Kohli to play Prasidh Krishna safely, he merely needs to be more cautious. He’ll be able to handle the rest just fine. Trent Boult hasn’t sacked him until now. Faf, on the other hand, must score runs. No one can save the team from danger and help him reach 200 every time he gets a golden duck. As he demonstrated in the Eliminator, Rajat Patidar would not be able to pull it off every time. It will fall to someone else to shoulder the burden, “he continued, adding.
To win the IPL 2022 Qualifier 2, Rajasthan Royal’s leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal must perform at his peak, according to Chopra. “Off-course, they aren’t very reliant on one another. His team’s leading wicket-taker is also the league’s leading wicket-taker. Other bowlers have joined the team, making it a well-rounded one “he stated.
“Rajat Patidar’s role in the opposition’s batting line-up is dependent on Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis scoring runs, so if they don’t, Patidar will have to score runs from time to time. If you look at Jos Buttler’s current batting, you’ll see the same thing. RR has only faced Yuzi Chahal and Ravichandran Ashwin a handful of times, and both have failed to pick up a wicket in either encounter. No doubt, they are vital players and bowl crucial innings. The good news is that the field is large enough today to allow these bowlers to bowl intelligently even if there is no dew on the field. You will see Chahal bowling his best against his previous squad. He bowled well in the previous match, but he wants to improve even more this time to make his former side regret not keeping him, thus, “he continued.
He made the following prediction on who will win the match: “The Royals will prevail. The Rajasthani Rajwadas won’t allow me into Jaipur, therefore let’s go with Royal Challengers Bangalore. Even though I love them dearly, I’d rather support RCB this time around.”
